Top Ten Valentines for BOYS (who hate girly Valentines)

Do you have a little guy who is 100% all boy who loves to get Valentine treats but HATES to make Valentine's cards or projects that he considers girlish? We've got a top ten list for you!

1. Squawk Boxes: Most of our "Squawk Boxes" have boyish versions and several have "squawks" (phrases) that don't imply any kind of love. Your son should really like the king, alligator, viking, super hero, and robot but there is plenty more to choose from. Get in either a Graphics Set (just print and go) or Cut set (requires a cutting machine and a little more work)

See how to make a "Squawk Box" into a box to hold your Valentines.

2. Objects of My Affection: Are you the healthy mom who tries to avoid giving kids sugar? Then Objects of My Affection is the set for you. All the elements in these sets pair perfectly with cheap gifts you can buy at Dollar Stores or if need be, don't even include a gift. Most of these are just right for you your boy!

3. Hooked on You: This set is "O-"Fish"ally" perfect for both boys and girls. Just bag up some Swedish Fish and cut out the Hooked On You fish bowl tent. And print out the graphic to make some fast easy tags.

4. Be My Matey: ARghhhtt blahhh blahhh
